Why aren't road trip video games a thing? It's one of the most iconic setups for a plot in media, yet I can't recall a single game that is about friends that are traveling to reach their destination with good humor and danger.
I guess Sam and Max, but that doesn't really count, does it?

I have not played it but I thought that was one of the main premises of FFXV
Final Fantasy XV
I can only think in My Summer Car or Death Road to Canada.
A game like this can even work with desition choosing and multiple endings, hoy dont even need to ride the car, just choose music and enjoy the view.

I wish Iris would've tagged along for longer
I want to believe this is unedited but I can see some weirdness around the sign. What was it, actually, in the episode?
Pretty much only old adventure games do this due to being a genre with a big focus on story so you can implement some more detailed plot.
Nowadays you probably won't find anything like that since adventure games are past their golden age.
I guess the Desert Bus remake is kinda road trip game on multiplayer but dunno if it really counts.
I legitimately wish death on anyone from Zig Forums
why do they sit like that
BWANNN
BWANN BWANNNN

BWANNNNNNN
they are uncomfortable because there is a woman in the car
Death Road to Canada
sneedposting was never funny.
They change their positions from time to time
Jalopy.
Have you ever been on a roadtrip? There is a reason why
Its true. And anyone that keeps it going is a fucking faggot.
The virgin noctis sit vs the chad gladious manspread
Yes, pretty solid as well. Skinner and Chalmers are in a Road trip to Cincinnati since Chalmers has a big conference speech.
No Simpsons Family either aside from Bart at the begining and end.
Metro: Exodus has that road trip feeling with the train and your crew imo
This, I wish they get aids, sars, covid and prostate cancer.
>biggest dude out of them all isn’t sitting shotgun
Huh?
A few people seeds, a few people feeds, most people were city slicking. I remembered the line from the Zig Forums scripture, the Sneedavad Chuckta; Sneed (formerly Chuck) is trying to persuade the Guatemalan farmer that he should do his seeding and, to impress him, takes on his multi-functional German car and says, "Now I am become Sneed, the feeder of seed."
here ya go op
Well, you're the expert
Because he's royalty and the prince's personal guard.
Real road trips are pretty fun.
I dont know if most gamers could relate though

The american road trip theme of FFXV is the only thing it has going for it
Oddly enough they should have made this game more linear despite it being a complaint against the other FFs. There's no backtracking in a road trip, you set your target and see what cool shit you can hit along the way. If you really feel like you missed out then you hit it on the way back, but you're better off using the route back to see other states
GTA San Andreas is essentially a road trip game.
There's only really been two ways to make driving in a game fun, either vehicular manslaughter or racing. A road trip is neither. It works well in movies and books and whatever because the writer has full control of the pacing. If anything it's a decent challenge for any writer. It's like a Waiting for Godot except they're moving.
The medium isn't really suited for it.
>want actual driving? player is going to be frustrated they can't drive where they like and your game world likely isn't going to have the scale suited for a road trip
>not having driving? so the game's kind of just you talking to each other in a enclosed space as the world moves by around you, maybe such a set up would work in a VN, anything more developed than that is going to among other things have the player expect to be able to see the world outside go by as the car drives, even then, you're really going to want to focus on the stops made during the trip
There's potential in the idea for something VN-esque I'll give you that OP.
2020 managed to produce the first good Simpsons episode in a decade. Go watch it.
All they had to do was take the simpsons out of the simpsons.

Except Bart was handled really well in this episode.
The other option I could see is sort of what Paper's Please did, find some mechanic that keeps the player invested despite it being based on a long, drawn-out and at times incredibly boring experience.
